Veteran Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Mary Njoku, has expressed called out men who hide under DNA tests to evade responsibility for their children.
May took to her Instagram to share her thoughts on this issue, where she observed the ongoing controversy surrounding DNA tests.
Mary stated that for the results to be confirmed, the man must have carried out the test in at least three different hospitals to ascertain the accuracy.
She said that many hospitals misdiagnose a lot of illnesses, adding that the probability of doing so for a DNA test is not far-fetched.
In the video, she stated that she believes a responsible and loving father should not be afraid to carry out multiple tests to ensure that he is not disowning his biological children.
She said: “Oga! Stop avoiding your responsibilities by using the paternity test excuse. Consider seeking second and third opinions. Misdiagnosis is very common. What if you are wrong.”
Mary is married to Jason, a British-Nigerian entrepreneur, film magnate, and African start-up investor.
She co-founded iROKOtv with him, one of the early video-on-demand movie platforms for Nigerian movies.
The couple were married on August 18th 2012, in Festac, Lagos, with their friends, colleagues and Nollywood celebrities in attendance.
They welcomed their first son, Jason Obinna Njoku, on 30 July 2013 and a second child, Nwakaego Annabel Njoku, on 24 August 2015.
Jason Njoku, was born on December 11th 1980, in Deptford, United Kingdom.
